ZIP 13339 vs ZIP 13410

This side-by-side compares ZIP 13339 (Fort Plain, NY) and ZIP 13410 (Nelliston, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 13339 has a population of 6,941 at 25 people per square mile, while ZIP 13410 has 241 at 846 per square mile. That difference in population size and density alone reshapes how every other metric should be interpreted — a higher-income ZIP with 1,200 residents behaves very differently from one with 45,000.

On income and education, ZIP 13339 reports a median household income of $56,047 against — in ZIP 13410, with per-capita income of $29,957 vs $31,512. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 20.7% in 13339 and 13.6% in 13410. Poverty rate reads 15.3% vs 30.7%, and unemployment 1.6% vs 6.7% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Housing separates these two ZIPs further: median home value sits at $94,400 in 13339 versus $73,000 in 13410, with median rent of $867 and $623 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 79.3% vs 63.0%. When reading the comparison table below, focus on paired metrics rather than single winners — a ZIP with lower home values and lower income is not strictly "worse" if rent-to-income ratios and commute times land in the same zone. Every value is pulled from the exact same ACS table so the two columns are genuinely comparable.
